Alkalinity Balance, pH up, pH down, Calcium Balance, Water Stabilizer, and clarifier are all swim-safe chemicals. Wait about 20 minutes, and you are free to swim. We suggest adding algaecide, Super Erace, and shock at night, after everyone is out of the pool. It is safe to swim again the next day.
Tips on Lowering your Swimming Pool pH. 1  Never pour any chemicals into your skimmer filter basket (if you have one). The water here goes directly to your expensive pool pump, filter, heater, and other equipment. 2  If pH is really low, test strips and even test kits cannot test higher than a pH of 8.6. If this is the case, you will need to add a significant amount of pH reducer or muriatic acid to bring that pH value back down to testable levels. Once you can test pH, then you can fine tune how much more you need to reduce the pH. Use our online calculators to determine how much you need. In general, you add about 2 pounds of dry acid per 10,000 gallons of pool water, but use our online calculators to get a more exact guideline.
